I appreciate that. That does actually happen, but I am aware that people get requests relating to another bank account they are not even familiar with that has been closed. What bank account details does the Department of Social Protection have for people? In other words, does it know how many bank accounts a person has? I get a lot of queries in my office regarding a request in respect of a bank account that was not provided that ends in 309 or whatever the number is. When we follow that up, we find it is a closed bank account that has been there for 20 or 30 years. That is my query. What detail does the Department of Social Protection have with regard to bank accounts held by an applicant?
